All I hear about Islam is they all hate Americans. I hear people spreading hate on Islam like its Ibuprofen. I just want everyone to think for 1 minute before responding. I am appalled after this paradigm shift. If the hate existed like everyone I hear say, we would have ZERO returning servicemembers from Iraq and Afghanistan. If we succumb to the hate we fuel the radicals. We must see things as they are. Not every one person from one particular religion is what the majority of the masses believe. Extremists exist is every religion and every culture.

Muslim or Islam does not hate America or Americans; the religion of true followers are against anything or anyone with different ideology. To say that no one would return from Iraq or Afghanistan is really naive. We did not return from Iraq or Afghanistan because Muslims loved us; we returned because we are stronger. If it was up to Muslims, we would are perish. So SSG Jesse, get it right

I spent 8 years living in Sydney, Au from 2000-2008, and the only person who had an issue with me was a Taliban refuge. I was working at TYCO, and on 9/11, this douche got in my face, praising the actions of the brave ones. It was other Muslims who put him in his place and "protected" me. Some of the nicest people I have met while living there were Muslims...most of them from war torn Countries in one way or another caused by American involvement, yet non of them showed any anger towards me.

You summed it up in your last sentence ," Extremists exist is every religion and every culture." The one thing that I do know being Desert Storm Vet from the 1st gulf war up to and including this day ,you don't ever see any Muslims or Muslim groups denounce any Islamic extremist attacks and I do have a problem with that !

Spot on! People are people. Good, bad, no sense, etc. There are more Muslims in the world than Christians.

Yeah they just about hate everyone including other Muslims. They will never change because their religion would not allow them too.

I think there is only a small radicalized component that hates Christians and Americans.

More specifically, the question is more of the Muslim population not Islam. I do understand the Military is more culturally aware than our civillian sect. I do know there are good and bad everywhere. I am simply trying to highlight what I hear from our frontrunners for POTUS and media outlets. Not to mention, churches and the general proclamation of Americans. If the West is the infidel we would have a much higher and dramatic increase of casualties in the Middle East. That was more the thought process when I posted that. The incidents here in the US have been isolated at best.

It's pretty simple. Muslims in the middle east hate us. You're more than welcome to go there on your own. I won't stop you haha. Fly away, be free!!!!

Define hate. Many define hate simply as me disagreeing with their views or lifestyle.
